The female nidoran held her gaze low, pace graceful but nervous. She didn’t want to do this. She had no interest in getting stronger. Strength wasn’t everything and the world needed more kindness than violence. Yet, her handler did make a good point. She had to be stronger if she wanted to protect those she cares about. Yes, Rhia was fully aware that he only said this to make her train. And yes, Vallon was aware she knew the real reason for this today. But regardless to the attempt of mind trick, he had a point.

Vallon took in a long deep breath, blue intense orbs flickered over the dojo. It never changed. He glanced back at the nidoran, giving her a nod. Rhia looked away from his look, partly ashamed she fell for his ‘attempted’ mind trick. The gijinka pulled another sphere from his pocket, hoping that maybe another creature of similar species would help Rhia get stronger. The male Nidoran materialized, lazy gaze fell upon the female. She was, beautiful. But before much else could be said, Vallon stepped in. “You know what to do.” With that, the half dry scaly skin and half soft human fleshed creature moved to she usual spot to nap. Once comfortable, his eyes closed to sleep.

For the next several hours, neither of them really trained per day. Instead, they bonded with each other and learned more about each other. That was, unless their handler stirred. And when he did, both pretended to battle it out. Tiyvu, surprisingly, trying to act as if he wanted to get stronger while Rhia, also surpassingly, pretended to either dodge or counter his advance. It worked, Vallon falling back to sleep to allow them to bond. And by the time the man work up, both managed to put some dirt on each other to make it look like that really battled it out. But, how long could that pull that off?

Although the man still had a lot to explore in Shula, it was rather plain pretending to be a normal human. Other than traveling around the region, there was really nothing to do. It was suggested to invest his time into his pokemon. And when he asked why, they said he could challenge other trainers to battles and compete in gym challenges to collect badges. The gijinka scoffed at the sight of the little metal things, a complete waste of time in his opinion. Yet, the man remembered battling the admin. At the time, Vallon didn’t care but now he remembered how kind of fun it was.

Blue orbs fell upon the spiritomb, a brow rose as it smile at him back. HIs rolled his eyes, looking at all the equipment placed around the place. All of it seemed useless. Instead, the man plucked out another sphere and released a creature. The gaseous form of a gastly materialized within seconds, snickering and floating around the spiritomb. “You two battle it out,” the man mumbled, turning to head to the nearest bench to sit, “I’m gunna sit over here and watch.” The two partial ghost pokemon looked at each other, waiting for the trainer to sit before starting. For the next several hours, the two ghost battled it out. Vallon merely watching, learning.

It was another recommendation by the rockets research team to do some special training with his pokemon on a weekly bases. This activity would help bring a sense of normality in his insanity of a life as well as bond with his pokemon. Bonding with a pokemon sounded like a foolish wish. It was pointless. Yet, here he was.

“Come on out Bandit,” the man mumbled, moving the one side of his jacket to let out the salandit that practically lived in there, “Its time to train.” The salandit peaked out from his hide hole, head tilted to one side before slithering out and onto the floor. Adjusting his jacket and look down upon the fire and poison type, he gave it a nod. Salandit titled his head to the other side, unsure of what to do. Vallon sighed, his own shoulders shrugged. “I don’t know.”

Cool orbs lifted, scanning the dojo for something to help his pokemon. Spotting the straw dummy, Vallon nodded to it. “Aim your attacks at that thing. See how many times you can hit it from here.” Arceus does he have to explain everything to these creatures. Bandit turned his head, spotting what his trainer was referring to. He nodded, fully facing the dummy before standing up on his hind legs. The creature took in a deep breath, firing round after round of embers at it. And honestly, Vallon was impressed by this salandit aim. Pretty good for a low level.

The male nidoran blankly stared at the twin headed snake, unfazed by the female’s head harsh words. “You gotta attack back. That’s how I works. We exchange attacks. Are you dumb or something?” “Hehehehe. Yah. You dumb.” “Shut up.” It’s been like this for the pass several minutes now. The shulian ekans attacks him. He left it hit, then wait for the next one. It’s not like there was a point to this. No matter how hard he tried to ‘get stronger’, there was always going to be someone stronger. So yeah, there was no point. If she wanted to beat him up, then whatever it didn’t matter. He let out heavy breath, both from boredom and exhaustion from being attacked so many times already.

“You’re getting on my nerve Tiyvu,” the female head hissed aggressively, slithering up to the poison type until she was just inches from his face, “Are you really that stupid? Lazy? I won’t have weaklings on my team. I know Vallon’s doesn’t care, but I do. So come one. Give me your best shot.” The shulian ekans reversed slithered back, waiting for the male to make a move. But instead, he just stood there. The shulian ekans hissed loudly, zipping to the nidoran and wrapping herself around the creature. “Fine. I’ll make you fight back.”

Viper and Cobra tightened their coil around the poison type. And each second, her wrap got tighter and tighter. And finally, the creature managed to do something. He took in a deep breath with little room to do so. The shulian ekans eyes widen, waiting to see what he would do. But just at the apex of his breath, Tiyvu let out a heavy sigh and went back to doing nothing. As he said before, it was pointless. A series of aggressive loud hisses escaped Viper, casting the creature a nasty looking leer while tightening her core even more. He’ll have to fight at some point or least he’ll die. At least, that's what she was hoping for.

After what happened during their battle against the admin, Shade has been a little more rambunctious and it was getting on Vallon’s nerves. And in hopes to get what this was out, the gijinka decided to head to the dojo and let him battle it out against another one of his pokemon. Reaching into his pocket, the man plucked out two spheres.

In a flash of light, two ghostly pokemon materialized within seconds. One, said energized gastly. The other, a cool and calm spiritomb. They both watched the man as he moved to the side of the large room, shifting a chair and sitting down. Once down, he nodded and mumbled “Have at it.”

Shade snickered, large eyes on the fellow ghost type. Suddenly, large red eyes appeared before his. He attempted to mean look Specter, but it failed. Specter sent out a confuse ray, only to be nullified by the gastly when he vanished into nothingness. Being a fellow ghost type, the spiritomb knew where he was and foul played him. Shade screeched, pain riddled him. A flash of light forced the move to be disable, not wanting to be hit by that super effective move again.

His snickering returned, long wet tongue out ready to lick the ghostly ghoul. Spiritomb was hit, paralyzing him completely. In the end, Shade won only by a margin. Of course, Vallon did praise either of them. He simply sighed and recalled them. Who knew being free was so…. Boring?

He was a viciously little thing. And if Vallon had it his way, he would just release the darn thing into the wild. Yet for some reason, the man couldn’t bring himself to do it. Although Chomper wouldn’t be able to following onto land, surely he would find a way. Luckily, the rocket higher up bugged him go get more pokemon. Mila was nice enough to give him an egg. Hopefully whatever hatched from it, could keep his basculin entertained for him.

But until that day has come, there was nothing he could do for the fish other than fill up a kiddy pool for him to splash around in. And splashed, he did. The creature spent the next several hours, training himself. Though the little pool didn’t have much water and had no room for him to move, the basculin trained himself. He bite at air, pretending he was in the midst of a battle with another foe.

He would swim left, right, and bite at that water as if he was winning a fight. And despite the limit room, the basculin actually worked up some muscle. One day, one day he will be able to fight in a real battle. And when he does, his foe won’t know what hit them.

Bandit wasn’t his strongest pokemon. He also wasn’t much of a fighter. The salandit was more of a thief, sneaking around and stealing other people items was more like it. However, Vallon was told he needed to train all of his pokemon. And with Vallon not giving two poops about that, the man simply returned to the dojo and called further two of his pokemon. Bandit, the one training today, and another one of his pokemon to battle against. This time, it was Viper and Cobra. Simply because, they loved to battle and they were getting on his nerve.

After telling them to fight it out, the hybrid moved to the side to find a place to take a nap. And as soon as Vallon laid his head, the shulian ekans attacked the salandit. At first, it was the game of cat and mouse. Bandit would ran, looking for anywhere to hide from the two headed snake. Viper wouldn’t let it happen, itching to battle someone even if it was her own team mate. And at one point, the shulian ekans cornered poor bandit and forced the creature to fight back.

A few scratches, embers, fake out, and many beat ups later, it was still clear that the shulian ekans was superior to the salandit. Still, Bandit did get some good training in even through he ran away most of the time.
